Please don't top reply. (I have moved your reply down.)

I'm not sure if I understand you. GCC source code is maintained in SVN 
repository, which has a trunk and many branches. The trunk is where the 
main development is going on. gcc4.4.0 is not a branch. It is a release, 
which is created from branch gcc-4_4-branch. When you submit a patch 
like this, you need to create your patch against SVN trunk instead of 
any branch or tag or release tarball.
